Word Play is a short crossover series featuring several Nick Jr. characters. It has its own episodes as well as being used as interstitial commercials.

It is styled as a stage play and uses more cutesy and paper-like designs for all the characters. It features the main 3 characters from Team Umizoomi, as well as characters from other Nick Jr. shows like PAW Patrol and Bubble Guppies. It reuses voice clips from Team Umizoomi episodes instead of recording new ones.
